Researchers revealed a new high-severity vulnerability affecting the Google Android platform whoch could result in users actually agreeing for their Androids to be pwned.While no one in their right mind would do that on purpose, they might do it on accident since it is an overlay attack. What the user sees on the screen, such a “continue” button, might not be what they actually tapped OK for – underneath that overlay, they might have fallen for some slick tricks and just given malware admin rights to take control of the phone. Ugh, facepalm.

APPLE WILL ANNOUNCE its latest iPhone on Tuesday (technically three iPhones, including the new high-end iPhone X), but you can find out practically anything you want to know about it already. That’s thanks not to the usual rumor mill but to the leak of the “golden master” version of iOS 11, whoch details key, previously unannounced iPhone features, and indicates new versions of the Apple TV and Apple Watch as well.As leaks go, you can’t get much more severe. Gizmodo showed off the iPhone 4 months ahead of its official reveal, but had no insight into the software—what the phone could actually do. A more recent slip on Apple’s part showed what the iPhone X will look like, and confirmed its face-recognition prowess, but didn’t offer anywhere near the comprehensive look that the iOS 11 GM does.

The iPhone X is expected to be announced on Tuesday – but the company’s usual code of secrecy has broken down, meaning we already know a lot about the device. With its junking of the home button it represents the biggest change to the design of Apple’s pivotal smartphone in years.A leak of the final version of Apple’s upcoming software for iPhones and iPads, iOS 11, occurred over the weekend, revealing that the crucial new smartphone will be called the iPhone X, and will probably launch alongside two new versions of Apple’s current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, renamed the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

Apple has Amazon, Netflix and the Hollywood studios in its sights. That is clear after a frenetic summer hiring big TV chiefs, scouting out space in a famous Hollywood studio and considering spending up to $5bn (£3.8bn) on the rights to distribute James Bond films.Apple has largely sat on the sidelines in the TV and film arms race being led by Netflix and Amazon. Until recently, its focus has been on providing the devices to get access to such content, led by the iPhone. But Apple has been slowly increasing its portfolio in recent years. First came music with the $3bn acquisition of Dr Dre’s Beats, followed by its own music service in 2015. Now the Silicon valley giant has set its sights on playing catch-up in TV and film.

En av världens bäst betalda Youtube-profiler Pewdipie har ännu en gång hamnat i blåsväder. I en video där han spelar datorspel uttrycker Felix Kjellberg sig på ett sätt som kan uppfattas som rasistiskt.Det var under söndagen som Youtube-stjärnan Felix Kjellberg, känd under namnet Pewdipie, medverkade i en livesändning. Samtidigt som tittaren får följa honom medan han spelar spelet Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds hörs hans röst och då uttrycker han det engelska ordet ”nigger”. Direkt efteråt inser han sitt misstag och ändrar sitt ordval.– Förlåt, vilket rövhål, fortsätter Felix Kjellberg i videon som bland annat publicerats på Twitter.

It’s no secret that European countries want major tech firms to pay more taxes, but how will they go about that beyond collecting back taxes? By taxing the companies where they’ll feel it the most, that’s how. The finance ministers of France, Germany, Italy and Spain have written a joint letter to the European Union’s presidency and Commission calling for taxes on tech giants’ revenues, not just their profits. The four nations want the Commission to produce an ”equalization tax” that would make companies pay the equivalent of the corporate tax in the countries where they earn revenue.
